Be who you want to be. The science of how to change yourself

Did you ever get rid of the negative features of your personality? For example, become more tolerant of others or reduce anxiety? Become more disciplined, confident? It is believed that people rarely change: the introvert will never break out of their sink, the daffodil will forever remain in the trap of their superiority. In this book, a neurobiologist, psychologist and journalist Christian Jarrett, relying on the latest scientific research, tells how we can deliberately form our personality in order to influence the course of our life. The author invites readers to evaluate the properties of their personality using the tests of the Big Five and the Dark Triad, introduces them to the methods and techniques of its purposeful change and gives practical recommendations to those who are aimed at continuous self -improvement. The book was written in such a way as to help the reader start changing directly during the reading process, passing the tests, doing interactive tasks, tracking the path traveled and noting the successes and failures
